Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Quote
Impossible, he said, and switched to Igbo. Ama m atu inu. I even know proverbs. Yes. The basic one everybody knows. A frog does not run in the afternoon for nothing. No. I know serious proverbs. Akota ife ka ubi, e lee oba. If something bigger than the farm is dug up, the barn is sold. Ah, you want to try me? she asked, laughing. Acho afu adi ako n’akpa dibia. The medicine man’s bag has all kinds of things. Not bad, he said. E gbuo dike n’ogu uno, e luo na ogu agu, e lote ya. If you kill a warrior in a local fight, you’ll remember him when fighting enemies.
